* It is mentioned in the EarthseaTrilogy that one wizard used to summon souls of ancient kings and wizards for royal council. It ended up with him being exiled, since, apparently, the advices of the dead are of little use to the living.

* In Creator/RobertReed's short story, ''The Hoplite'', the characters were all long-dead, but their bones were dug up, used to clone a new body, and their memories retrieved using a device called the quantum-dilutor. All of the characters come from empires known for either their brutality or their cunning - Nazi Germany, Mongol Empire, Aztec Empire, Roman Empire, etc. The characters are then given a suit of PoweredArmor and are used to subjugate rebellious regions.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': This is basically what happens the Kernelsprites are for. Kernelsprites, when properly prototyped, will be capable of functioning as guides to [[spoiler:Dream Jade]].the player, as well as a CrutchCharacter. Prototyping is done by chucking objects into the Kernel, and by an unspoken rule at least one of these items ''should'' be the remains of a dearly departed. The resulting Sprite takes on characteristics of everything that was thrown in, but failing to include something capable of speech, or at least something sentient, will result in a largely ineffectual guide, as well as a missed opportunity to reunite with a loved one.

* The Dresden files novel ''GhostStory'', plays with this trope. The person in question would have died (having been shot through the heart). However, the person is kept from death due to a DealWithTheDevil made in an earlier novel, solely to perform the job agreed to in the deal. Also, the other party was GenreSavvy enough to know the person would try to back out of the deal.

* Occurs several times in the ''{{Godzilla}}'' films.
** ''Godzilla VS King Ghidorah'' has the Japanese attempt to nuke a Godzillasaurus in order to mutate it into Godzilla and stop King Ghidorah. The problem is that [[spoiler:Godzilla was already mutated by the nuclear subs at the bottom of the Bering Sea (where he was transported pre-mutation) so nuking him again only made him bigger and more powerful.]]
*** Later, King Ghidorah is ressurected as Mecha-King Ghidorah to stop Godzilla from destroying Tokyo.
** ''GMK'' features three gods (Baragon, Mothra, and Ghidorah) being ressurected/awakened from their eternal slumber in order to save Japan from Godzilla.
*** Likewise, Godzilla himself is ressurected by the vengeful souls of the forgotten soldiers who died in WWII to punish the Japanese for forgetting them.

* ''DragonBallZ'' features a lot of {{Disney Death}}s, but the straightest example of this trope is probably the second time Goku is revived.

Seven years later, Gohan is the only alive warrior who hasn't been killed or [[YouWillBeAssimilated absorbed]] by Majin Buu, and he can't beat him, so Goku has to be specifically revived by special ways to help him.
